In the third installment of Iodine Dynamics 3x3 series, the artist collective will further experiment with their their darkly humorous art game What Remains. It is an authentic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) 8-bit game based on how public opinion was, and still is, shaped to prevent the creation of government regulations needed to protect us from man-made environmental disasters. What Remains immerses the player in an eighties adventure to save the planet.

WHAT REMAINSWhat Remains is a new darkly humorous 8-bit homebrew adventure video game for the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

It is 1986. You just came home from a skate session when a Nintendogame cartridge falls into your hands. Excited to find out what kind of game is on the cartridge, you visit your friend who just bought a brand new Nintendo console two weeks ago. You plug in the cartridge and a strange list of encrypted files appears…

The game is currently under development and will be released for free in early 2018. By free we mean a free of charge NES ROM download and we will publish the source code and assets under free culture licenses. A limited edition of physical cartridges for the NES and the Famicom,using recycled hardware, will be also produced.

PLAYTESTIodyne Dynamics, in collaboration with V2_ in Rotterdam, will host the final playtest, and we are looking for players to come and give us feedback on the current prototype!

Free entrance! This event is part of the Kunstavond.3X3: THE THREE OF Experiments are an essential part of every art practice. Even more than the end results, experiments, bèta versions and try-outs offer an inside look on how an artist thinks and works. Therefore, the experiment is made central in 3x3. V2_ offers three artists the space, time and resources to develop three experiments. Every first Friday evening of the month the public can witness one of these experiments live. A unique experience, since no one knows what experiments will lead to…
